The headquarters of a real editorial office, with computers and everything needed to package the bimonthly 'Di Vittorio news' , was set up in the Umbertide primary school of the same name. A total of about sixty students from the fifth classes work on it, each with their own editorial role and with specific timetables. The ribbon was cut by the President of the Order of Journalists of Umbria Roberto Conticelli and the director of the Angela Monaldi school. They did so at the end of a meeting which was also attended by the mayor of Umbertide Luca Carizia and, via Skype, the director of ANSA Luigi Contu .
"There are assignments, meetings, responsibilities. Writing articles is other than making a theme in the classroom," said Monaldi. "Journalism - he added - is an effective didactic tool to enhance basic skills, from writing and reading, to understanding".
"It is exciting to see boys and girls tell about Italy," said Contu. Who spoke of "fantastic project". "It is important to be able to tell what is happening in the world - said the director of ANSA - but even more to read and get informed. This is why it is increasingly important to have secure and certified news. Projects such as 'Di Vittorio news' bring knowledge and enthusiasm". Conticelli stressed the "quality of the initiative".
